      Since you posted it, do you mind explaining how you got this price?

        using the search function on the site will give you a site to something even cheaper than BMA for clutch fans. You'll need to enter another area code other than your own, but other than that it can still be shipped directly to you. Of the top of my head I think the final price was around $30 for a new fan clutch

            That will work if you aren't going to use A/C. If you use A/C you need more air flow at idle than the aux fan can supply on it own.

              it worked fine for me but we don't really get above 90 here. Plus the aux fan is loud as hell.
